[Dshield] port scans

Port 137 scans are hitting us at the rate of about a hundred per hour. here is a description.
Its a windows Virus/Worm...it has already broken the Klez Record's, MS
should have already released the patches. Not sure if zonealram can stop
it because it's designed to kill all Desktop firewall's and some av
programs. More than likely the scan's are all the script kiddies looking
for the back door.

NOTE: Due to an increased rate of submissions, Symantec Security Response
has upgraded this threat from a Category 3 to a Category 4 as of October 2,
2002.
W32.Bugbear at mm is a mass-mailing worm. It can also spread through network
shares. It has keystroke-logging and backdoor capabilities. The worm also
attempts to terminate the processes of various antivirus and firewall
programs.
Because the worm does not properly handle the network resource types, it may
flood shared printer resources, which causes them to print garbage or
disrupt their normal functionality.
It is written in the Microsoft Visual C++ 6 programming language and is
compressed with UPX v0.76.1-1.22.
